"The Working-Class Movement in America (1888), is a classic study of American labor in the 1880s and was a bestseller among
labor circles of the time. This text provides a snapshot of the U.S. labor movement and working class at a time when the United
States was becoming the world's leading manufacturing nation. Blending firsthand observations and interviews with a wealth
of appropriate statistics and reports from the Burean of Labor Statistics in various states, Marx and Aveling describe conditions
in numerous workplaces and sectors of the labor force; there is even a Marxist analysis of the American cowboy!"--Jacket

Revolution and Counter-Revolution in Germany is a book by Friedrich Engels, with contributions by Karl Marx. The book was
written as a "series of articles about Germany from 1848 onwards." The project was first suggested to Karl Marx by Charles
Dana, one of the editors of the New York Daily Tribune, in early 1851. The series first appeared in the Tribune between October
25, 1851 and October 23, 1852. It marked the beginning of regular contributions by Marx and Engels to the New York Daily Tribune
that continued for a decade. Revolution and Counter-Revolution is an account of what happened in Prussia, Austria and other
German states during 1848, describing the impact on both middle-class and working-class aspirations and on the idea of German
unification. Events in Austria and Prussia are discussed, along with the role of the Poles and Czechs and Panslavism, which
Engels was against. Also discussed is the Cologne Communist Trial, in which the defendants were acquitted after some of the
evidence was shown to have been crudely forged

In "Madame Bovary," his story of a shallow, deluded, unfaithful, but consistently compelling woman living in the provinces
of nineteenth-century France, Gustave Flaubert invented not only the modern novel but also a modern attitude toward human
character and human experience that remains with us to this day. One of the rare works of art that it would be fair to call
perfect, "Madame Bovary" has had an incalculable influence on the literary culture that followed it

Emma Bovary is a sensuous, sentimental young woman whose romantic ideals make her dissatisfied with her humdrum married life.
Attempting to escape into an exciting world of passion and dreams, she drifts into sordid affairs with Rodolphe Boulanger
and Léon Dupuis. The first of these lovers, an older man, dominates the affair, while the second, inexperienced and young,
is dominated. The eventual collapse of Emma's romantic dreams is inevitable, and her disillusionment leads ultimately to her
doom. A brilliant psychological portrait, Madame Bovary searingly depicts the human mind in search of transcendence. Acclaimed
as a masterpiece upon its publication in 1857, it catapulted Flaubert to the ranks of the world's greatest novelists and ushered
in a new age of realism in literature

In 1871, the working class of Paris, incensed by their lack of political power and tired of being exploited, seized control
of the capital. This book is the outstanding history of the Commune, the heroic battles fought in its defence, and the bloody
massacre that ended the uprising. Its author, Lissagaray, was a young journalist who not only saw the events recounted here
first-hand, but fought for the Commune on the barricades. He spent the next twenty-five years researching and writing this
history, which refutes the slanders levelled at the Communards by the ruling classes and is a vivid and valuable study in
urban political revolution, one that retains its power to inspire to this day. -- Back cover
